Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the desulfurization of at least one NO x storage catalytic converter which is arranged in an exhaust pipe of an internal-combustion engine, having the features listed in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a concentration of reducing gas components such as CO, HC or H 2
  • the oxygen concentration is dominant (lean-burn atmosphere).
  • SO 2 is formed as well as NO x , on account of fluctuating levels of sulfur in the fuel mix being burned.
  • NO x the concentration of sulfur in the fuel mix being burned.
  • this SO 2 in a lean-burn atmosphere, is absorbed by the NO x storage catalytic converter; the absorption of SO 2 may lead to the formation of local inhomogeneities as a result of the formation of sulfate grains.
  • This process leads to a reduction in a catalytically active surface region and in a capacity of the NO x storage catalytic converter and offers a point of attack for corrosive processes which cause permanent damage to the NO x storage catalytic converter.
  • the degree of sulfurization reaches a threshold value, it is also known to initiate the desulfurization by at least temporarily influencing an operating parameter of the internal-combustion engine (measure).
  • measures comprise, for example, late ignition, reinjection before or during a combustion operation or a cylinder-selective trimming of the internal-combustion engine, and therefore lead to an increased fuel consumption.
  • measures are often taken in order to increase an exhaust-gas temperature upstream of the NO x storage catalytic converter and then to reach the minimum temperature at the NO x storage catalytic converter.
  • a drawback of the known processes is that the desulfurization is initiated only on the basis of the efficiency of the conversion reaction, i.e.
  • the invention is based on the object of making the desulfurization of the NO x storage catalytic converter significantly more dynamic, i.e. of including not just the degree of sulfurization of the catalytic converter but also the regeneration parameters in order to assess the need for desulfurization.
  • This object is achieved by the process for the desulfurization of at least one NO x storage catalytic converter arranged in the exhaust pipe of an internal-combustion engine by the features given in claim 1.
  • the fact that the desulfurization is initiated, not only by the degree of sulfurization, but also as a function of a current lambda value and/or a current temperature of the NO x storage catalytic converter means that the desulfurization can be carried out significantly more efficiently, i.e. so that more fuel is saved.
  • a characteristic variable which is formed from the degree of sulfurization, the lambda value and the NO x storage catalytic converter temperature is determined in order to assess the need for desulfurization.
  • the characteristic variable lies within a characteristic diagram which can be characterized by means of a ratio of a load to a rotational speed of the internal-combustion engine.
  • This characteristic diagram can be divided into any desired number of regions in which, for example, the threshold value for the desulfurization is reduced as the temperature rises. In this way, it is possible to react very dynamically to given operating states with regard to initiating the desulfurization.
  • FIG. 1 shows an arrangement of a catalytic converter system in an exhaust pipe of an internal-combustion engine
  • FIG. 2 shows a ratio of a load to a rotational speed of an internal-combustion engine.
  • FIG. 1 diagrammatically depicts an arrangement of a catalytic converter system 10 in an exhaust pipe 12 of an internal-combustion engine 14 .
  • the catalytic converter system 10 comprises an NO x storage catalytic converter 16 and a preliminary catalytic converter 18 , as well as suitable gas sensors 20 and temperature sensors 22 .
  • An operating mode of the internal-combustion engine 14 can be regulated by means of an engine management system 24 . If, for example, an operating mode with ⁇ 1 (rich-burn atmosphere) is desired, an oxygen concentration in an induction pipe 26 upstream of a combustion stage of a fuel-air mix has to be reduced. As a result, the levels of reducing gas components in the exhaust gas increase compared to a level of oxygen.
  • an operating mode of this type can be achieved by reducing a volumetric flow rate of intake air by means of a throttle valve 28 and at the same time supplying low-oxygen exhaust gas via an exhaust return valve 30 .
  • a need for desulfurization results from the efficiency of a conversion reaction of the NO x storage catalytic converter 16 , and a current temperature of the NO x storage catalytic converter 16 and/or a current lambda value.
  • the efficiency can be recorded with the aid of the gas sensor 20 , which measures an NO x concentration downstream of the NO x storage catalytic converter 16 . In this way, it is easy to determine a degree of sulfurization and therefore the efficiency on the basis of values gained from experience or by measuring the NO x concentration upstream of the NO x storage catalytic converter 16 .
  • the current temperature at the NO x storage catalytic converter 16 can be determined using the temperature sensors 22 , while the current lambda value can once again be determined using the gas sensors 20 . Therefore, at any time a degree of sulfurization, a temperature and a lambda value are known, and these in combination are used as a characteristic variable for assessing the need for desulfurization.
  • FIG. 2 shows a position of the characteristic variable as a function of a load W at a rotational speed U of the internal-combustion engine 14 . If, for example at constant load W, the rotational speed U is increased, this leads to increased fuel consumption, with the result that the lambda value falls and the temperature of the exhaust gas rises.
  • the characteristic variables which are possible as a function of load W and rotational speed U of the internal-combustion engine 14 are in this case divided into four regions which can be applied as desired. In this case, in a region 32 the need for desulfurization is selected in such a manner that it is substantially determined by the degree of sulfurization, i.e. the desulfurization is initiated when a predeterminable threshold value for the degree of sulfurization is reached.
  • the temperature of the NO x storage catalytic converter 16 is used in addition to the degree of sulfurization in order to assess the need for desulfurization.
  • the desulfurization may be initiated when 70% of the threshold value is reached and a temperature of, for example, more than 400° C. prevails.
  • 100% of the threshold value is understood as meaning a degree of sulfurization whose accompanying NO x activity intervention still enables the statutory pollutant limits in the approval run to be met.
  • the desulfurization can be deemed necessary even when only 50% of the threshold value has been reached (region 36 ), while in region 38 both the lambda value and the temperature are such that, irrespective of the degree of sulfurization, they allow natural desulfurization of the NO x storage catalytic converter 16 .
  • the control of the desulfurization process which is illustrated firstly allows increased fuel consumption caused by the need to heat the NO x storage catalytic converter 16 to the minimum temperature to be reduced, and secondly means that, as a result of the threshold value being reduced at higher temperatures, desulfurization is initiated earlier, so that the sulfate grain size which is present is smaller. Therefore, corrosive processes, for example cracking, are also reduced.
  • this need is also possible for this need to be assessed continuously on the basis of a decision matrix which compares an energy consumption required for desulfurization with the need for desulfurization.
  • the energy consumption is dependent on the NO x storage catalytic converter temperature and the degree of sulfurization.
